Voices Of Our Students

“WDGA has given me a new outlook on lifeWDGA has taught me never to give up, to always have a positive attitude, and how to be a responsible young adult. The program has been a GREAT experience and has helped me a lot inside and outside school. Without this program, I never would have gained a better understanding of what it takes to be in the workforce, as well as working with others.”
